Not few people have wondered
how DR.. Junker, who has just re-
turned to civilization from Central
Africa, succeeded in passing safely
through the hostile tribes in the
lake region. The mystery is ex-
explained at last, and DR.. Junker
deserves credit for inventing an in
genious method Of reducing danger
to a minimum in traversing un-
friendly parts of Africa: Before
going far from Albert Nyanza he
ascertained that there was no hope
of his getting through the territory
of the Waganda and one or two
other hostile tribes without aid. If
he was not murdered he would at
least he detained as prisoner.
Now and then an Arab trading car

the Arabs were afraid to appear to

idea occurred to DR.. Junker to sell
himself as = slave to one of the
Arab traders. A bargain was struck
and he ostensibly became the prop
erty of the trader. The contract
stipulated that the Arab, for the
sum of 1900 Australian dollars, was
to deliver the traveller alive at Zan-
zibar, where, upon the presentation
Of the contract, the money would

The Irish struggle is really a
fight against feudalism. The fight
to-day is in Ireland, but it is sure to
come all over Great Britain within
fifty years. The entire land of the
three kingdoms is held by probably
less than 10000 families; an aris-
tocratic landed aristocracy who
own all England, Scotland, Ireland
and Wales. They control the col
onies, the church, the army, the dip
lomatic service the official life of
the people. They have all the
wealth, the titles, the culture that
goes with an aristocracy and they
control the welfare of the 2OO,OOO,-
GOO of human beings that at home
or in England's dependencies are
British subjects. In France there
are 100000 of land owners; in
Great Britain and Ireland the land
is held by some 10000 families.
This situation is social error that
must be corrected, if England ex-
poets any freedom from violent po-
litical disquiet and agitation in the
years to come. Her situation is
the survival of the feudal land
tenure which has ceased to exist in
France, and which England has
long ago outgrcwn. If she were
despotism she might perpetuate
it, but as a free government she
cannot forever keep it. In our his
tory New York state had to meet

prove q serious difficulty in shape

the old Dutch colonial proprietors,
or PATRONS, like the Van Rennse-
laers, who held vast properties

Last fall, a young man named
Anderson, who was working on n
ranch in Carson Valley, suddenly
disappeared, and, although an ex-
haustive search was made for him,
no trace of his whereabouts could
be discovered. When last seen he
was working near hay baler. He
was first missed at the dinner table
but no special anxiety was felt as
it was supposed that he had laid
down through sickness. His dis
appearance was a nine days talk,
and it was finally surmised that he
had left the country on account OF
love affair. Day before yesterday,
however, he turned up in Virginia
City. William Mooney, a stable
man, purchased a load of alfalfa
hay, in bales, of the rancher OH
whose place Anderson had been
missed. He went to open one Of
the bales, when he found inside tho
body of Anderson. in a good state
of preservation. 1t is now rumored
that Anderson was working at the
machine, fell in and the helpers
about the spot we're too busy talk
ing politics to notice him, and so
he was tied up along with the bal
ance of the hay. He evidently died
of suffocation and made no sign

Ehret's wealth is estimated at

600. He holds more mortgages
than any man in the city, and he
is the owner of vast blocks Of real
estate. A dozen German brewers,
busted in piling up immense for

Jacob Rupert, John Eichler, Mon
roe Eckstein, George Bechtel, the
Kuntz Brothers, and Peter DOel-
gers Sons are among them. Each
of these is a millionaire, and three
at least are worth $1,000, 600 apiece.
For years the lager-beer field was
left entirely to the Germans. Now,
however, the Americans are COM
ing to the front. They are credited
with making better beer and with
better business methods. David
G.. Yuengling and w. r. Abbott
have almost Il national reputation
as brewers, but the man who is as
cending the ladder most rapidly
seems to be James Everard. Eth
er by merit or through shrewd busi-
ness manipulation he has run his
brewing into fashionable popularity
which is sending him up towards
George Ehret in point of wealth.
Everard owns half a dozen brew
cries. He turns out 100000 kegs
of beer a month. Shed Shook is

The gigantic fortunes made in

New York's favorite brewer was old

patronized by sailors, printers and
the elite of Wall street. He was
an Englishman who brewed his
own ale. His brewery was little
shanty on the outskits of Brooklyn.
Once a month he closed his Frank
fort-street alehOuse and shut him
self in the Brooklyn cabin until a
brewing was completed. A few old
merchants smack their lips even at
this late date when the virtues OF
Charley's ale are discussed. When

New York Mail and Express

"Ball-headed men die sooner than
those who possess a full head ot
hair" said a physician to mail
and Express reporter the other day.
"Thcn, doctor, your life is short
ened," interposed the reporter.
Il have adopted protector you
see; the skull-cap. If l have no
hair to cover my Uranium, do the
next best thing and use a warm
cap. / never go bald-headed, no
matter where ! am, and by that
means l never take cold. The ma
jority of men who have bald heads
wear nothing to protect the exposed
surface, not even a wig. The result
is many of them take cold and go
off with pneumonia or contract
some deep-seated disease like bron-
chitus or consumption. Yet if |
told a bald-headed man to wear
something warm on the exposed
spot he would, nine times out OF
ten, pay no attention to my warn
ing. 1t is a growing cause of in
creased mortality and deserves great
attention both from scientists and
empirical laymen. Bald heads are
the sign-post of a high esthetical
civilization and at the same time
the epitaphs of physical degener-
alton. Luxury, ease, comfort, high
living, and hereditary characterist-
les have to be taken into considera-
tion when analyzing the problem
of bald heads. If the future race
is to be devoid of hair, then it must
necessarily be short-lived one,
because more susceptible to sick
ness. have noted many cases OF
pneumonia, and where the patient
is male over forty years old the
proportion is over one-half in favor
of being bald-headed. Whenever |
have q bald-headed patient | never
rest until he consents to wear a
skull-cap. If the hair was no pro-
lection to man he would have been
created without any. and his skin
made tough and thick to stand the
weather. The wise provisions made
to insure perfect physical comfort
never contemplated period in the
worlds history when man should

peeled onion. The man who does
it repeatedly sooner or later pays
the penalty.

ing a crown. In those days, when
hats were not worn, few people were
bald, and those who were attempted
to conceal the fact. 1t is said that
Caesar wore the crown to hide his
bald head, and it may be added
correctly that he did it for comfort
as we'll. Women do not suffer from
the exposure of bald heads because
they wear false head rigging which
generally protects the scalp. Then
females are not predisposed to bald
ness as males. Nature has given
them an abundance of hair, and
those who grow bald have some
kind of skin trouble. Yet there are
more bald-headed women than the
world imagines. My argument
against going about with the scalp
exposed is merely from hygienic
point of view and not because OF
any false notions about how it
makes a person look. Old men,
gilded youths, and unfortunate wO-
mankind, if you are bald, don't
grieve over the inevitable, but wear
something warm and upon all occa-
sions. Your days will be longer
in the land and your progeny will
be less apt to inherit the hairless
tendency"

A. T. Stewards art gallery, sold
at auction recently, brought $513,-
$50. One of the pictures was bought
for $53, 900 by syndicate Of gen.
tlemen who will give it to the free
gallery Of the Metropolitan Muse
um Of Art, and Cornelius Wander
bilt paid very large sum for an
other fine picture, which he
has given to the same institution
The action of these gentlemen in
swelling the treasures of the city's
free art gallery naturally suggests
the thought, why did not Stewart,
who died worth many millions of
dollars, died childless, will Il por-
ton of this gallery to the Metro
politan Museum of Art, where it
would have been joy for a century
at least to thousands of people who.
open to the educating influence of
art, could never hope to gain ac-
cess to such fine collection. Tho
reason why Stewart did not do this
was because he was a very small,
mean man with an exceptional ge-
Mus for trade. He had no taste
for art he bought pictures just as
he built a fine house, because he
had more money than he knew
what to do with. Belmont, and
Aspinwall, men whose wealth was
meagre compared to that of Stew
art, always threw their art galleries
open several times a year to the
general public, high and low, be-
cause they took general pleasure
in doing something toward educat-
ing popular taste to an appreciation
Of the worthy refinements of u high
civilization, and any well-behaved.
sober person, no matter how poor
and obscure, could visit these art
galleries on public days. Belmont
and Aspinwall, to be sure, had u
real taste and love for art for its
own sake and probably their supe-
rior elevation of mind lifted them
clear above the narrow-minded sell
fishness of Stewart. Stewart had
no excuse for his meanness, for he
had been well educated before he
left Ireland and had taught class
ical school in New York before he
embarked in trade. If education
could have enlarged his common
mind he did not lack it. But he
was startling proof of how little
education does toward changing
the ingrained fiber of a naturally
small man. He treated his en-
ployes with great meanness, in Goa
trast with his great rival Claflin,
who was a just and generous man
to all his help who gave him sober
and faithful service; he took grim
delight in running every man who
ever left him to try to do a small
retail business on his own account.
He won all his wealth in trade in
New York, and yet he never left
dollar to the great public educa-
tional institutions and charities of
that great city. The idea never
seemed to enter his head that a
man of exceptional wealth is the
executor of an enormous moral
trust. He winked at all the rob-
berries of the Tammany ring, be-
cause they let him off with tritie
of taxation to keep him quiet, and
his name was attached to Tweed's
last certificate of good character for
good government. He died unwept,
unhonored and unsung. and his
wretched old body was stolen after
death and held for ransom, while
the dust of Horace Greeley was
borne to the tomb amid the tears

Edward Steventon, formerly

recently left here for Smoky, passed
through a trying ordeal while on
his way to that district. He ex-
pected to travel in company with a
friend we'll acquainted with the
road, but his companion failing to
Join him he started out alone on
the trip, much against the advice of
those who knew the difficulties any
one not knowing the route would
have to contend with at this season
of the year. Leaving here on Sat-
urday night he intended to stop at
the Springs and await the possible
arrival of his friend, but finding
that place closed started on the
trip over the divide and it was not
until late on the following Tuesday
that he succeeded in reaching Da-
Wis store, at Smoky. He lost the
road and wandered aimlessly about
for nearly three days and nights,
when fortunately he struck the
right direction and finally arrived
at his destination completely worn
out, his face and hands badly
burned. Luckily Mrs. Baxter bad
provided him with a goodly amount
of. food for both himself and friend,
and the possession of this ample
supply saved him from the tortures
of hunger in addition to his bodily
sufferings. Once under the friendly
shelter of Charley Davis store he
soon recovered from the effects of
his perilous trip and will hardly
attempt to repeat the journey until
after the snow has gone. 60

New Brick Build Ina z.

On Wednesday last Comstock &
Clark purchased the lot at the cor
ner of Main and Third streets, OPP
posite the Palace Hotel, and will at
once let contract for the erection
of fine fire-proof brick building
to be used by them as store. If
sufficient inducement is offered the
building, which is to be % feet front
by 70 feet deep, will be made two
stories in height, the upper floor to
be made for the accommodation of
lodges. No more central location
for such purpose could be secured
and the members of the various or
ders should at once take the matter
under consideration. 1t is designed
to have the new building ready for
occupancy by July LIST, when the
firm will open out with a larger
stock of goods than ever before.
The investment made by Messrs.
Comstock e. Clark will prove a
profitable one and the saving made
in rents and insurance will in a
short time amount to the purchase
price of the lot and the expense of
erecting the building.
